All the talk about getting kids back into a love and a desire to play Test Cricket … Talk wont do it. What they mean is how do they get the crowds back to the long game? How do you teach kids to build innings or to learn the nous to take wickets when you’re being belted all around the neighbourhood? I hear that today in Junior Cricket – and in Australia, juniors I’m told, don’t play red ball cricket…
Do we know what is our community? This is the crux of the question of just who can represent us in a Parliamentary system. We should assume this Parliament operates on democratic principles and when we can’t assume that, then we, us, the community members, must ensure that it does. I have written and debated within myself from one end to the other of this now flat Earth on this single subject – integral representation. The quality of the debating…
Don’t we wish. The problem here is that we haven’t been able to get the kids on board to the actual greening. It only takes a short walk through a camping ground to see that whatever it is the Greens have been doing since the days of old Bob Brown .. education through action isn’t one of them. Infighting and coercion through Political Correctness seems to be the main policy of the Modern Green – party politically, that is. It’s…
I must have a fair go, and lest I be accused of not giving a fair go to all, and just in case my political bias is too obscured by my humanity, my belief in democracy, equity and equality and of course, my rabid Republicanism .. I must give a fairer go to the King and his Dragoons and to the Greening of Australia, and I must expose, therefore, these others who would rule on our behalf this lucky country…
Here we are again, into another year of this wonderful 21st Century. In Australia were going to be crowning another King – lord god almighty let’s hope its not the same one .. or at least let’s pray that its not another one from the same clique as our last three Kings have come from. Let’s bring back some integrity into our rulers. Lets make them answerable to us … Hell, let’s make Australia a democracy, let’s make it a…
Ours .. aint it? I mean this dosh the neoLibs – the poor Nats just dont get a look in these days eh – are going to jump up and down about saving the country .. its actually our money, taken from us in order to provide the things we need on a collective basis. You know, from those according to their means, to those according to their needs. Is that the ideal? This ‘budget surplus’. How do we get…
Now forgive me for being such a dumb cunt, but why are all of our refugees up on Manus & Nauru criminals? Now we have Air Vice-Marshal Osbourne telling us that these poor people and their children are criminals. Me, being an Aussie, a not so proud anymore Aussie, would just like to know what it is that our refugees have been convicted of? When I was a proud Aussie I prided myself on being up with the news of…
Billy Boy, the King says you’re not talking to the right people! He says you’ve got it all wrong .. he says that ‘mainstream Australia’, thats the “Christian majority” have a different idea regarding just what injustice and tolerance are … He says justification of intolerance are what Aussies want. Says its fundamental to a true Aussie character. He says corruption also is tolerable as long as its Pistol Pete’s – and Christ’s – version of it. However … He…
So because you are all so bored with my usual tripe .. my usual wrong headed socialist human rights farouche, I thought I’d put some sort of a philosophical question into your facing winds. Lets take as an example a great Australian, shall we say a man for poor seasons .. let’s take Pistol Pete Dutton – not down to the seaside to drown – lets take his powers of discretion exercised for the common good. Pistol Pete holds his…
Billy Boy says that his Bunch have done a deal, come to an agreement, with all the King’s men, on our bwhalf, and sold a bit more of our privacy in the interest of a Merry Christmas for all. A deal? With the King? Lord help us. The kings obstruction of process .. and his paranoid ravings on fear, have won the day. Now he’s off on holidays with his kiddies. Wonder if theyre off to a quiet pacific resort…
